Further support for people in the Berwick area struggling to make ends meet has come in the form of a Warm Clothes Exchange at Northern View in Highcliffe.

It is one of the venues that launched warm spaces last month amid concern that some people in the town will have to limit the amount of heating they use in their homes due to the cost-of-living crisis.

People are asked to leave any donations in the collection bin at the sunflower door entrance to Northern View.

The bin will be there daily between 9am and 4pm until Wednesday, November 16.

The poster produced by Northern View includes the following: ‘We are looking for coats, cardigans and jumpers that are of good quality and clean – all sizes, ages and genders.

‘Collection day will be Saturday, November 19 (noon to 4pm). All items will be free of charge. Donations welcome.

‘Any surplus will be donated to the Great North Air Ambulance Service Clothing collection.’
